Par 4 15th at Rock Barn's Jackson Course... I hit a good drive into the right side of the fairway and I had about 170 down the hill to the back-left pin.  I hit a towering 6 iron that never left the stick.  It landed about 10 yards beyond the pin and settled on the back of the green.  My putt from 32 feet away didn't curl all the way down to the right and settled on the lip.

Being the #2 handicap hole, it would have been very nice to have made a birdie there, but I ended my round without a single birdie.

Hit my first drive ever over 300 yds today. 308 to be precise, admittedly slightly downhill but into the wind (or maybe actually breeze). As always I picked an optimistically far point on the fairway, stepped up and somehow smoked it to exactly the point where i was aiming. When I got to the ball I took a moment to reflect on what a different game it would be if I could always hit my tee shots that far!

56 degree from 120 out.

Stuck it to about 6 feet with a great ball flight.  Needed that putt to get back to even par.  Of course I missed it :-P

#17 Par 3 View from the tee:  178 yds to the pin.

The ball had a little wiggle to the right as it came to rest which seemed odd because the green slopes left in this corner!  We think I might have hit the left side of the hole and lipped-out to the right and just missed an ace!!   it's hard to see that far, so we'll never know for sure!

Oh well... I'll take the easy deuce, but I want another ace!!

There is no such thing as an easy duece for me. I would miss that putt for some reason.

This is an old pic and a blast from the past.  When I was a member at Stone Canyon, they had the best quality firm/lightening fast greens of any course I have played in years.   I eventually quit the course due to fairway quality, but that's besides the point.

The greens were always fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!

Firm and Fast..................................oh yea!  IMO...the green conditions are obvious in this pic!  Tightly shaved greens.....oober slippery!!  Fast, like putting on a linoleum floor.

Was caught in the middle of a daisy patch on the edge of a bunker on 18 about 40 yds out from an elevated green. Hit that sucker to about 6 feet and made the putt for a 97....first round under 100 since early July. Could have easily seen myself taking 3 more strokes when I first saw that lie.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
